Oh, and did you see how back in 1947 Churchill- out of office and sulking- lobbied the USA to drop a pre-emptive "A" bomb on Moscow?

Our grand old monster was as monstrous as any other monster in the monster house.

Seems like a good day for the story to break.

My mother is watching the Cenotaph ceremony. The band is playing a medley of war tunes. Some Dimblebody or other is giving us the low down.

Ah- that's more like it- the band is playing Mademoiselle d'Armentieres...

Churchill was a glory-seeker and adventurer who happened to be the right man for the job in 1940. Apart from that "finest hour" his career was less than glorious.
